With the environment identified as a crucial topic at this year's World Economic Forum, it is no surprise that Al Gore was an in-demand presence at Davos, sought-out to deliver a keynote, participate in numerous panels and screen his new documentary An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth To Power. Addressing pressing issues at sessions such as, "Responding to Extreme Environmental Risks" "Stepping Up Climate Action," and "Global Progress Through Partnerships," Gore consistently drew a packed house. His comments made headlines in CNBC and a Facebook video synthesizing his optimistic message on climate change has been viewed over 800K times. At the undisputed epicenter of the global conversation surrounding the climate crisis, Gore is universally heralded as a moving and gifted orator, one who leaves audiences both deeply informed, hopeful, and empowered to be a catalyst for change.
